The list price of £500,000 seems somewhat high considering the property’s size (1017 sqft) and the limited plot size. While other properties on Vale Close have sold for similar prices, the lack of detailed comparable data and the average price per sqft being unavailable makes definitive evaluation challenging. The overall condition and proximity to good schools are positive factors, but not sufficient to fully justify the price for a smaller property on a potentially limited plot.

The provided photos suggest the property is in generally good condition. There is evidence of some modernisation and updates in certain areas, including the kitchen and bathroom. However, some areas appear to be more dated and may need future maintenance or updates. Overall, the presentation is acceptable but not exceptional.

The property is situated in Pilgrims Hatch, Brentwood, which benefits from being close to highly-rated primary schools like Larchwood Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating). The proximity to Brentwood town centre offers additional amenities and transport links, although the distance to the station is considerable. The relatively quiet cul-de-sac location is also a positive factor for many buyers. However, the lack of detailed information on local amenities and the distance to some key services slightly lowers the score.

While the property includes a garden, the images suggest it’s relatively small and perhaps not as well-maintained or landscaped as some buyers may desire. There is limited information on the precise size, which would influence the score further, so this is a conservative score reflecting the images.
